jupiter.
i sighed as we walked around walmart. i was finally getting something to put in my hair. my hair just feels so dry and nasty.
jason and i walked down the hair care aisle, his hand tightly on my waist. i stopped in front of the hair stuff and looked for the stuff i usually use.
"ooh get this one, it smells good."
i turned to jason to see holding a bottle of suave shampoo towards me.
i placed a hand over my face, my fingertips rubbing the bridge of my nose before letting out a laugh. jason gave me a confused look.
"what's funny?"
i stopped laughing and went back to looking for the things that i needed. "i can't use that."
"why not?"
i grabbed the bottle of shea moisture shampoo and the bottle of conditioner. i turned towards Jason.
"look at my hair."
he looked at it for a few seconds before shrugging. "okay?"
i sighed and shook my head. "i can't use that on my hair. it just doesn't work out for me."
he still didn't understand, but he just nodded his head and put the bottle of suave back on the shelf.
i picked up some more stuff and threw it in the little basket i had. i looked at jason to see him playing on his phone. i cleared my throat and he looked up at me.
"ready?"
i nodded my head and he grabbed my hand, pulling me along with him. we walked towards the check out line. as we walked past the spandex shorts, i stopped abruptly. they instantly made me think of dakota.
f l a s h b a c k .
"ooh dakota look!" i ran over to the rack of spandex and started shifting through them. dakota followed behind me and once he saw the section that i was in, he rolled his eyes.
"and you need spandex for why? you play basketball jupiter, not volleyball."
i rolled my eyes and picked up a pair of pink ones and threw them in the cart.
"so? they make my ass look great. come on!"
grabbing a few more pairs of spandex, i grabbed dakota's hand and dragged him over to the dressing room. i put on a pair and walked out of the dressing room. dakota looked up at me as i did a full 360.
"how do these look?" i looked down at myself and then back at dakota.
he smirked. "biiiiiitch."
i laughed a little bit and he cracked a smile.
"your ass is poppin' in those."
"ayeee!" i did a little twerk before running back into the dressing room.
e n d o f f l a s h b a c k .
i felt jason tug on my wrist as tears brimmed my eyes. he turned around and looked at me. he let go of my hand and put it up to my cheek, but i flinched back.
"baby what's wrong?"
i shook my head and wiped some tears that had fallen. jason looked at me, worry and concern written all over his face.
"Jupiter please tell me what's wrong."
i didn't say anything, i just looked at my feet. i heard jason sign and he grabbed my hand again, dragging me towards the check out line. i kept my head down as we quickly left walmart.
